The true core of the estate, the Great Room is designed to comfortably hold a family of nine, along with countless guests, without the need to rearrange a single chair.

A custom asymmetrical Brombal steel window and door system, developed in close collaboration with the Italian fabricator, draws in mountain light and opens the room to the terrace beyond.

An inglenook fireplace forms the threshold between interior and landscape. A 14-foot built-in with a rolling ladder anchors one wall, a Steinway grand piano sits ready for family sing-a-longs, and an 18th-century Aubusson tapestry conceals the television on a Roman mechanism, marking the point where the architecture of the home and its daily life intersect.
